I was doing 110 with a fresh 18 pack and dialed in this tune

Holy fuck I wish I could do that right now. I have to be free. I was born to be free.

Ditto! And when I'm 60, I'm still gonna be doing the same things I do right now. On a whim, I'll jump in my car and take off down the highway

Lance Bass has a version entitled, "How long has it be going in"

But Al suffered from osteomyelitis, a persistent bone disease. When he was 8 years old, doctors took two inches of bone out of his left foot, leaving jagged scars and permanent deformity. But this slowed Al down only slightly and only temporarily." We had a big factory right across the street from us and there were a lot of people working there. Every lunchtime they would come out and have these pick-up games. They were always a man or so short, and I'd be standing under the trees to see if they were. They'd say 'Come on, Al, play.' I was only ten or eleven at the time, but they put me in the lineup and that's how I really got started."

Baltimore had a strong recreational baseball program, which allowed young Al to play with four or five different teams all the time. "I'd play a game in one end of town, then my father or uncle would drive me to another game. I would change uniforms in the car on the way. Sometimes I'd play three games a day. I never got enough."

During his spectacular high school career, scouts from every one of the major league clubs came to watch him play. His coach, heavy with strong pitching talent, decided to try the young player at shortstop. Al proved himself as an infielder but with his unbelievable strong arm and the ability to throw with pinpoint accuracy, Al was installed permanently in center field.

"Switching to the outfield was the best break I ever got," recalls Kaline.
 
The comparisons to Tiger Hall of Famer, Ty Cobb, who was one day older when he won his first batting title in 1907, were inevitable but painful to Al.

"It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me."

Between the 2 of us, I'm not sure who is more weird. LOL

LOL at the specator's clothing. Truly reminds me of "Leave it to Beaver"
 
n his 20th season as a big leaguer, and two months short of his 38th birthday, Kaline finished 1972 with a .313 batting average, his highest since 1961. Billy Martin, who became Kaline's manager in his final years, said, "I have always referred to Al Kaline as Mr. Perfection. He does it all--hitting, fielding, throwing, running--and he does it with that extra touch of brilliancy that marks him as a super ballplayer. Although a regular outfielder, Al fits in anywhere, at any position in the lineup and any spot in the batting order. I like to send him to the plate in the number two slot because he is the best there is at moving up the runner. He can bunt, hit the ball behind the runner to right, or belt it out of the park."
 
You can see Nat King Cole on the bottom left.
 
And I believe I see Tom Landry on the top left.

wtf? Are you saying he's Al Kaline?
 
The Lion is not 72 years old, so it can't be him.

That song was NOT Ambrosia or Pablo Cruise.

It was Ace. They were from England. The singer of that song, Paul Carrack, is the same guy who sang "Tempted" for Squeeze.
